“At times when you’re taking photographs you realise that you’re hooked on composition and you’re no longer really aware of what it is you’re seeing. Composition can quickly become narcissistic: you fancy yourself as an artist. The pictures you take in that frame of mind are often completely empty, precisely because they’re too perfect. Composition is not only a problem every time you take or enlarge a photo, it’s also a product of your attitude as you look at something and the mood you are in.”

This is an example of some of my recent video work from the past few months. It is normally displayed through multiple projections in site-specific locations. I have been working with ideas of the uncanny, the technological sublime, and how we construct memories.

“We want to be
pictures, not just be in them, and so when I look at a picture I am also
looking at myself, at a way that I might be.
I want the relationship between my self and my world to be like the
relationship between the parts of a picture, and so I look to pictures for
advice on the ways that might happen.”
